"Hey, Mean Mr. Bossman" is the song that SpongeBob SquarePants listens to on his record player in the episode "Squid on Strike." The song's melody can be heard as background music for that episode's title card as well. Its lyrics are told from the point of view a laborer complaining about his workload and finally tendering his resignation. The song was written by supervising/executive producer Paul Tibbitt and composed and performed by Jeremy Wakefield and Sage Guyton. The song is most likely a parody of "Take This Job and Shove It."
